Several communities are continuing their celebrations of the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer this weekend in DuPage County. Here's a quick look at some of what's happening.

Winfield Criterium: For those who don't mind getting a little sweaty, Winfield is offering a full day of bicycle racing that begins at noon Saturday and continues until roughly 7:30 p.m. at Oakwood Park on the village's north side. Proceeds benefit Advocates of the Winfield Riverwalk.

Naperville Art Fair: For those looking for something a little less strenuous than bike racing, the Naperville Woman's Club is presenting more than 100 artists in a juried fair that will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday on the grounds of Naper Settlement, 523 S. Webster St.

Glendale Heights Fest: Two days remain of the five-day celebration which continues from 3 p.m. to midnight Saturday and 3 to 11 p.m. Sunday at Camera Park, 101 E. Fullerton Ave.

ItascaFest: There are just two days left to this festival, too, which runs from noon to 11 p.m. Saturday and noon to 11 p.m. Sunday in Washington Park at 350 E. Irving Park Road.

Railroad Days: The West Chicago celebration continues from noon to midnight Saturday and 3 to 10 p.m. Sunday in Reed-Keppler Park, 129 W. National St. The annual parade steps off at 1 p.m. Sunday from Ingalton and Elmwood avenues.
